I love the way you manage to juggle the funny with the unpleasant, the affection with the hurt. It's great story-telling." Roddy Doyle Lord of the Shadows 'Stephen King for kids !

Just like the rest of the Saga Extremely well written, great character deveolpment, has the reader sitting on the edge of her/his seat the whole way thru. A combination of the three last books 'The Lake of Souls, Lord of the Shadows and Sons of Destiny'.

The Blood-Curdling Grand final.
In the lake of Souls, Darren and Harket go on a quest to the lake of the dead, through a world of mystery and terror. A great break from the continueing storyline, breaths freahness and mystery into the story.

In Lord of the Shadows, Darren returns home and confronts the demons of his human past.
In Sons of Destiny, Darren faces archenemy Steve Leopard for a fight to the death. With time running out, can Des Tiny be foiled, or is the world doomed.

This book is full of shock and terror and leaves you short for breath.

A perfect ending to a fabulous saga. I shed a tear or two and wanted to read all 12 books over again.
I'm a school teacher and I cannot bear to part with all my copies, but I am definitely telling the librarian to buy in all 12 books for the school library. I am sure any kid who reads the first chapter, let alone a book, will want to read each book.
I likened these books a vampire version of Harry Potter, and honestly, I think I liked them more. Lovable character, intrigue and suspense and that darkness.

these books are the final in the series. i too found the end to be a bit of a cop out, but i guess it was the only way to wrap things up. the books never lack in excitement, and you can always count on them to be real page turners that you dont want to put down! darren is such a likeable character, he fights for his friends ie harket, and it warms my heart.

wicked book by author darren shan. this book conatins the vampire destiniy trilogy, and chronicals darens life. these books appeal to both genders, and the action and excitement will surely hook you in within the first few pages. such an enjoyable read i would recommend to anyone!

ahh this is the final showdown in the darren shan saga! this is such an amazing series, and appeals to any gender!! i LOVE these books hardout, and they are such an enjoyable read. it was very sad to see these books come to an end, and i found the ending somewhat sad and disappointing. this was very much worht the read tho!

i liked this book. i thought that it was well written and i think that many other people will love reading this as much as i have. i think that the storyline is well thought of and i think that if you have read the other ones then you will enjoy this one. defaintly a five out of five stars book and a five out of five stars buy. many should enjoy it.

These books are absolutely awesome and the last 3 books are sooooooooooooooo good. I've read the whole set of Darren Shans sooooooo many times that i've forgoten. When Mr.Crepsley died it was soooooooo sad but the Vampaneze are sooooo evil and sexy that your've just got to love'em. You can't put these books down once you start reading them. There A++++. MUST READ THEM AGAIN!!!!!AND AGAIN. ALL 12 ARE GREAT TO THE MAX!!!!

I love the Saga of Darren Shan, And if it were not for the death of Mr.Crepsly (whom I was in love with, so have began mimicking his manner of speaking), I would give it a 5. He had beter come back somehow. Like, that could have been his identical twin. Anything, even if it is incredably hoaky!! I AM IN LOVE WITH MR.CREPSLY!!!!!!!!!! I wore all black the day after I read about his death. I cried soooo hard!!
